If your straight guy friend says that he supports gays, tell him that you thought he was gay when you first met him. See how fast he gets upset and insecure & starts asking you why you thought that.

My gay guy friend tried this to our straight friend and the response he got was “thought? More like hoped” and then he winked. That’s a real ally right there. 

He really just scalped your poor gay friend on the spot didn’t he lmfao

I tried this on a straight friend and he turned bright red and mumbled something about how he might be bisexual actually? so I introduced him to some of the other queer folks I know and flash forward 4 months he’s definitely bi and out to all of our friends and dating a guy on his intramural kickball team.

Your racist grandma can learn better.

“When your only defence of someone’s attitude is ‘oh, they just grew up in a different time!’, all that means is they lived through the past 50 years of social advancement and didn’t learn a damn thing.”

(I can’t remember where I read that, but the sentiment has stuck with me ever since.)

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS: Being a ride or die means staying by a man’s side whether he has $500 or $5. Not when he cheats 10 times and you stay.

“Ride or Die” also means that if he ever hits you, he dies, and you call your bff for a ride.

Loyalty through hardship is one thing, loyalty through cruelty is another.

I know it sounds fake but you really do have a lot of silent lovers on this planet who look at you and wish they had your smile or your hair color or your humor or your intellect or your intentions or your heart, your manners, your eyes, your ease, even just you. People who are too shy to tell you what they admire about you or what they wish for you or who they see themselves becoming bc of you & they’re too shy to tell you. even tho it isn’t verbalized, the universe has still heard and the universe has loved you for helping out on its creations. You’re that person. You’re you.

Also check your moon and rising.

Aries: If you sit still and don’t do anything about it, opportunities or movements you have been waiting for are less likely to find their way to you. You may be lacking the necessary energy to complete everything you need to complete, and this is understandable given all the people who have, as of recently, been wearing you out excessively. But keep in mind, deep inside you there is still the drive and the desire to acquire all the necessary tools that will lead you to where you want to go. Don’t rule out a positive chance just because your experiences have been negative.

Taurus: You are still the same person as you were in the past. Maybe you have grown a bit since then, as we all try to, but this doesn’t mean you have to miss who you were, because that individual never went away. You still possess all the good qualities that you did back then, and you can still put them to good use now. Don’t be nostalgic for pieces of you that never left- perhaps they are just lying dormant, and it’s up to you to reawaken them.

Gemini: At times, when insulted, people may find it easy to write you off as “too sensitive,” “easily offended,” or “taking things too seriously.” But you know this is garbage, and plainly untrue. If you are feeling a bit slighted right now, your emotions and your right to them are all the more valid. Perhaps it may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but to you, it hurt. Don’t scold yourself for that. It doesn’t signal an easily bruised ego- it signals the heart of a human being. It is not cowardly to be hurt.

Cancer: Pay close attention to your habits today, and if you are able to, pick up on the harmful patterns you would like to see change. Whether it is smoking, overeating, not eating enough, or even matters far greater….. you may have found yourself falling victim to a cycle that you no longer enjoy. Even if you have done things the same way for a long while, it is never too late to rid yourself of your more negative behavioral patterns and turn over a new leaf. And you DO have the power to do that. First work on recognizing where said harmful patterns lie… then you will better know what to do about them.

Leo: Strength does not always come in numbers. At times, it is fantastic to have a plethora of good people surrounding you. People who know what your mission in life is, and share variations of that same mission themselves. At other times, a few remarkable individuals in your corner can be even better than a multitude of them. At the end of the day, fulfilling connections can be far more important than a bit of fun, and though those connections aren’t always easy, the souls you find them with are more often than not worth all the trouble.

Virgo: Although one cannot live in solitude forever, you may find yourself growing weary of all the unwanted sounds, voices, and stimuli surrounding you at the moment. If you need a day to yourself, accept it with a smile, if you can muster one. Plans can always be changed, and obligations always fulfilled at a later date. You don’t need to expose yourself to the elements that bother you today. Whatever you feel you are going to need right now- you are most likely correct. Within reason, allow yourself to have it.

Libra: Don’t worry so much about being co-dependent. Everyone is dependent on someone. Even the richest men can be dependent on an investor, and likewise, often times said investor is dependent on the rich man he is serving. Your friends and companions should understand that you may need allies right now- and that is not asking too much. It’s simply yearning for the help you are often so willing to give. Don’t be concerned with being “annoying,” because annoying and genuine are two different things, entirely.

Scorpio: It can become hard to sleep, properly communicate, or even collect one’s thoughts if tensions are rising and never seem to be dwindling. The tension and the anxiety you are experiencing right now is not without cause- but at that, it is temporary. You need not waste time trying to figure out the root cause, because intuitively, you may know what that is. Just hold tight, because inner circumstances like this do not typically last a lifetime- rather, they come and go, possibly more quickly than you think.

Sagittarius: It is not uncommon for us to envision a perfect life for ourselves- complete with what we want our living place to look like, where we would like to end up, and who we would like to be there with. You may find that your formerly ideal set of future circumstances are changing, and you may not want all the things you wanted so desperately anymore. It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out. And it’s okay if everything you thought you had figured out seemed to morph into something new. You don’t need to have all the answers just yet, and the past answers shifting doesn’t make you a bad person, either.

Capricorn: Pehaps in your search for someone to be there for you, or a genuine friend or counterpart, you have been looking in all the wrong places. On another hand, maybe you never had to look so far after all. Could it be that someone you have been inadvertently neglecting was truly yearning to be your caretaker all along? It is not unreasonable, at this time, to probe further into your own life, rather than what goes on outside of it. You may witness some miracles you had previously turned a blind eye to.

Aquarius: While your morals are crucial to your state of well being, morals can be flexible, and so can you. Just because you step outside of your primary set of principles every now and then doesn’t mean you don’t practice what you preach. Allow yourself to experience- your experiences, in fact, may better shape the code of conduct you have set for yourself…. or help you to better understand why you would come up with it in the first place.

Pisces: You should never be in a position that beckons you to look at yourself as “too damaged” and “unlovable.” If you are feeling this way at the moment, try to keep in mind that as the old saying goes, you could be the juiciest peach in the world, and there will still be someone who doesn’t like peaches. Perhaps, failure to impress the masses lies not in any fault of your own, but the fault of common society to step outside of it’s consciousness and consider that things, and people, are not always as they seem. Better to be odd and vivacious than conformist and boring. Better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.

This entire book looks like someone’s fever dream brought to life through some dark pact with an eldritch being… and I love it.
